The thing that AI models apparently fear the most? A game console released nearly fifty years ago. We are referring, of course, to the inimitable Atari 2600. Last month, the iconic system embarrassed the AI industry after it absolutely rinsed ChatGPT at a simple game of chess. It was a clash between a machine released in 1977, with 128 bytes of RAM, and a cutting-edge large language model with trillions of parameters, powered by however many thousands of graphics cards and billions of dollars

Despite all its advances, ChatGPT is seemingly still less smart — at certain tasks, at least — than an Atari game console from almost 50 years ago. In a post on LinkedIn, Citrix software engineer Robert Caruso explained how the OpenAI chatbot "got absolutely wrecked" by an Atari 2600 running Atari Chess, a game for the system released in 1979, when Jimmy Carter was still president. Launched in 1977, the Atari 2600 — also marketed at the time as the Atari Video Computer System — popularized at-

OpenAI's ChatGPT has some major competitors in the market: Gemini, Copilot, Claude. Now add to that list the Atari 2600. The OG video game console, which was first released in 1977, was used in an engineer's experiment to see how it would fare playing chess against the AI chatbot. By using a software emulator to run Atari's 1979 game Video Chess, Citrix engineer Robert Caruso said he was able to set up a match between ChatGPT and the 46-year-old game. The matchup did not go well for ChatGPT. "
